GAS AND varota BURNER;

Application filed February 19, 1923. Serial No. 619,865

To all whom it may concern:

Burners, of which the following is aspeci-' fication.

This invention relates to certain new and useful improvements in gas'andvaporburners for furnaces, steam boilers, stoves and the like, theobject being to provide a burner which is extremely simple and cheap inconstruction, and of casein installing and removing when occasionrequires a change of the fuel as from gas to coalor other fuel.

A further object of my invention is the provision of a burner which iscapable of burning natural or artificial gas, oil vapor r or gas, thesame being so constructed that it can be used in the ordinary coalburning stove or furnace, steam boiler and the like.

\Vith the above recited objects in view, and others of a similar nature,the invention resides in the construction, combinationand arrangement ofparts set forth in and falling within the scope of the appended claims.

Figure 1 is a top plan view of a burner constructed in accordance withmy invention.

Figure 2 is a vertical, transverse cross sectional view upon the brokenline 22 of Figure 1 and,

Figure 3 is an elevational view of a modified form of burner head whichmay be employed in conjunction with this invention.

Referring to the drawing in detail, 5 designates the burner manifold, 6the dome and 7 the burner heads. The manifold 5 is in the form of asingle casting including a hollow hub portion 8 and rim 9 the said rimand hub portions communicating with each other through a desirablenumber of connecting pipes 10. In the casting of this manifold there isoccasioned at spaced points .upon the outer wall of the rim 9 openings11, the same being screw threaded for receiving screw threaded fillerplugs 12, which carry projecting heads 13 which may be and preferablyare of angular form. Communication is established between the hubportion 8 of the manifold and a souce of fuel supply through a pipe 1 1.

, The dome 6 is in the form of substantially said side "wall of the 'ofthe filler-plugs 12.

inverted pan-shaped member and is adapted for positioning over themanifold 5 as more clearlyshown in Figure 2, itbeingun'der stood thatthe diameter of the side wall'of this dome is relatively greater thanthe I similar dimension of the manifold 5 for the purpose of allowing apassage of air between the rim9 of the manifold and the dome. TheSpanshapeddomefi is formed at itslower end with spaced notches 15, whichnotches receive the said angular projecting heads 13 The top wall ofthedome 6 is formed with a plurality of spaced openings 16 adjacent theouter edge ofthe dome,these openings being surrounded by verticalnipples 17,

formed integral with the dome.

The burner heads 7 are of a relatively elongated nature as clearly shownin the two views, the top wall of these heads being formed with aplurality of gas outlet openings 18. Intermediate the ends of the headsthe same are formed upon theirbottom walls with screw threaded openings19 for receiving the upper externally threaded ends of pipe sections 20,it being understood that the opposite lower ends of these pipes looselyengage in the said vertical nipples of the dome 6. It is also to benoted that the top wall of the rim 9 of the manifold 5 is formed withgas outlet openings 21 directly beneath each of the openings 16in saiddome 6.

Vlfhen my burner is arranged as per F igures 1 and 2 it will be apparentthat when p the gas escapes from the outlets 21 of the manifold this gaswill thoroughly mix with the air passing upwardly between the hub andrim portions of the manifold as well as between the side wall of thedome and the outer face of the rim 9, and further, when my burnerheadsare arranged as in these two figures, the same will extend read,- ilyfrom the center portion of the dome 6, the flame thereby extendingupwardly.

In Figure 3 I have shown one of the burner heads 7 as being connected toits pipe 20 through the instrumentality of an elbow connection 22 thepurpose of this be ing to permit the pipes 20 to be lnserted within thenipples 17 of the dome 6 for lieved that the advantages and operation ofa burner of this type will be readily appreciated by those skilled inthe art and although I have herewith shown and described the preferredembodiments of this invention it is nevertheless to be understood thatminor changes may be made in the invention with-- out departing from thespirit and scope thereof, as claimed.

Having thus described the invention, what is claimed as new, is p 1. Ina burner of the class described, a manifold having a gas inlet pipecommunicating therewith, a dome supported upon the said manifold inspaced relation thereto, burner heads carried by the dome and removabletherefrom, the said manifold being formed with outlet openings and meansupon said manifold for. supporting said dome' 2. In a burner of theclass described, a manifold having communication with a source of fuelsupply, a dome removably positioned upon said manifold, and burner headsremovably carried by the dome, said manifold being formed with gasoutlet openings beneath the burner heads of the dome. 3. In a burner ofthe class described, a manifold comprising a hollow hub and a rimportion communicating with each other through the instrumentality ofpipe .sections, said rim being formed with gas outlet openings, and adome removably supported upon the manifold, and burners carried by thedome and in communication with the outlet openings of said manifold. 4.In a burner of the class described, a manifold formed with openings inthe side wall thereof as well as openingsin the top wall, a source offuel supply to said manifold, plugs within the said openings in the sidewall of the manifold and having integral projecting lugs formed thereon,a dome supported above the manifold and formed with notches for thereception of said plug lugs, and burners carried by the dome anddirectly above the said openings in the top Wall of the manifold.

Intestimony whereof I affix my signature.
